In the tab for “Etiquette,” you can set the “Max quoting Allowed” This option limits the number of continuously quoted lines in a message. The default, 0, allows unlimited quoting. The “Daily message limit” defines the total number of messages that can be distributed to the mailing list in one day. For “Message size limit” Defines the maximum size of messages that may be contributed to your mailing lists. Some list members may try to send a large attachment to a mailing list. This sets the size that is allowed. The “Max posts per member” places a limit on the number of posts that a single member is allowed to send to this mailing list in a one-day period.

How Our Message Pricing Works

  1. Included Monthly Messages
    Each plan comes with a certain number of included messages at a standard size (up to 40K per email).
  2. Overage Rate
    After you’ve sent all your included messages, each additional 1,000 emails costs $0.90.
  3. What If an Email Is Larger Than 40K?
    • We measure every extra 1K of data beyond 40K as an extra fraction of a message.
    • Example: A 50K email counts as 1.25 messages (because 50K is 1.25 × 40K).
    • This prevents rounding up to a full extra 40K block when you only need 10K more.
  4. Covered by Your Monthly Fee
    • All administrative and automated list messages (welcome emails, unsubscribe confirmations, surveys, etc.)
    • Access to features like archives, refer-a-friend, click/open tracking, feedback loops, and more.
